POST FALLS - The fourth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser for the Post Falls Food Bank will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 26, at the Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center, 405 William St.
Admission is $15, which includes soup, rolls, a drink and a hand-painted bowl made by local residents. The cost for refills and kids is $5, but no bowl is provided at that price.
Tickets are available at the door and at www.postfallsfoodbank.org.
Eleven area restaurants will provide specialty soups for Empty Bowls.
The fundraiser also includes a silent auction, including some of the bowls.
A portion of funds collected for the food bank in March and April will be matched by the Greene Idaho Foundation, a nonprofit which distributes bingo proceeds generated at the Greyhound Park and Event Center in Post Falls.
The Feinstein $1 Million Challenge, which previously provided matching funds, was suspended for 2015 by the Feinstein Foundation.
